Deck discussion for Birthing Pod Shenanigans

Undying creatures in a pod deck? My god, you crazy son of a bitch, now I know how I want to build my pod deck. I could kiss you, but that's geographically impossible and would be a little weird.

So interesting, looks standard until you get to the lands. Here is one of my standard RG variants of Undying Pod. Very fun when you get it working, but its pretty slow compared to more competitive standard decks. I wouldn't change a thing but the non-T2 stuff since it's almost a T2 deck already.

Most recent version I've played with in a tourny, went 1-2, 2-1, 2-0, 0-2.

Got smoked last round in about 15 minutes by a Heartless summoning UB deck. I had to mul to 5 first game and second game I only had 3 lands after 5 turns.

Glad people like it XD To be honest, I just play with my friends and it's my birthday so theyre pitching in a bit of cash each to get this for me. The lands are the best I can come up with for a budget. i rly dont want them paying much. A mikaues is stretching it XD More solemn simulacrums are needed but expensive. Undying birthing pod is already pretty meta I think. havent been closely following magic. Hope this makes it to the top voted section =)

If you want to use this kind of a deck:

be careful about keeping creatures with mana costs 1-6. You need them to keep the pod going. undying keeps them alive. mimic vat synergizes like breasts and my mouth with pod, not to mention all of the "come into play" and "leaves play" effects in this deck.

When playing the deck:

fairly stadard. Search for what you need, not what you want. Adapt to your opponent. Also, don't be afraid to pod a copy from mimic vat or token from wakedancer. It will let you start a new pod chain, giving more options, and may even trigger a death effect.

Enjoy!
